Paper Roses Lyrics - Connie Smith

(Paper roses paper roses) 

I realize the way your eyes deceived me with tender looks that I mistook for love 

So take away the flowers that you gave me and send the kind that you remind me of 

Paper roses paper roses oh how real those roses seem to be 

But they're only imitation like your imitation love for me 

I thought that you would be a perfect lover 

You seemed so full of sweetness at the start 

But like a big red rose that's made of paper there isn't any sweetness in your heart 

Paper roses paper roses...
